| Photos: Chavez Jr. Retains The WBC Title, Stops Manfredo
|
|
Reliant Arena, Houston, Texas - WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (44-0-1, 31KOs) stopped Peter Manfredo Jr. (37-7, 20KOs) in the fifth round. In the fifth, Chavez hurt Manfredo with a wicked counter right hand and then started battering him against the ropes. Referee Laurence Cole tried to give Manfredo time to recover but Manfredo did little to defend himself and he did not punch back, which promoted the Cole to step in. Prior to the stoppage, Manfredo put forth a good effort and made it a fight. Chavez retains his title for the first time. Photos by Chris Farina/Top Rank and Rafael Soto.

I'm tired of the diplomacy with some of these fighters. The "I fear no-one, but talk to my promoter" mentality is very counter-productive. No more of this "talk to Bob Arum" bull****, cuz that man has his own agenda. We wanna know who YOU wanna fight. There aren't anymore tomato cans to throw him... |

[QUOTE=javysouthpaw]I give him hate because of the BS that Top Rank and HBO pulled to get him his belt. If he is not ready to fight the best why is he considered a champion?? This is what is wrong with boxing. How can a guy be a champ and still not be ready for other people in their division? ... |
